any LUG meeting should be free. Mostly because this is one of the corner stones in the "movement".
The people who normally go to LUGs probably would not mind paying for better facilities, but most new and potential members, or people who are curious, will not since they have little or no idea of what excalty is going on at a meeting. Of cause the price have something to say as well.
- Take a unknown site with almost no traffic, with links from/. and a friend. - Put nothing of interrest on it, only update it once a year. - For annoyance, make it all text and simple to use (sp?). - Give the domain a name which makes sence to you.
This is what I did, apparently the domain name I selected was a name for a printer model, if people only do a search for the model (on Google), they get my site as the first choise.
The point of all this? When doing a search choose your search carefully, and use at least two words when possible.

I think your are confusing floppies with TSD (Table Storage Device).
Have a look here for executive models. Which can be identified by the fluid supply for the TSD handlers, wine in this case. The models show are of a never date than 1969, observed by their significant smaller size and weight.
"What's New?" and other Phil & Kaja Foglio material can be found here and here (Adult!)
"What's New?" contains material from Dragon Magazine, Duelist and other sources. Probably why it is not avaible at TSR, besides Phil often do his own publishing.
With Moore's Law doubling performance every 18 months...
This shows how little the author knows about the subject, the rest af the article looks like rewrite and tidbits from other articles.
On the other hand, did he mean that Moore's Law increases the performance of the chips? Then one is left wondering what research and engineers are for...;9

It sounds like a urban legend to me. To give the story some credibility it should have stated where he was found. This fact could be compared with known base stations, and verified the claim or if it was possible.
On a side note, the ad on the page was for prepaid phone cards!
When will mainstream moviemakers, such as Lucasfilm, finally replace their render farms and Renderman with a GPU (Geforce or Radeon) and Cg based renderer?
That will never happen. You are comparing oranges and apples.
GPUs are emulators. In the sense that they try generate realistic looking images. Take reflection and refractions, these are based on bump maps or similiar technics, which limits the effect to a few passes.
Renderman (and raytracing) are simulators. They are based on simulations of real world physics, that means the refraction and reflections are calculated, the simulation is only limited by how detailed the image has to be when done.
1. What's the probability that primitive life evolved? 2. What's the probability that intelligent life evolved?
Dispite the probability, I think a more interresting question would be if they are able to recieve signals from us, since all signals and transmitions degrade in power over distance.
And if the are within this distance do they have the technology to detect the signals.
Lenat's team taught Cyc to make sure everything it was told conformed with everything it already knew -- a protection that should keep Cyc from being filled with erroneous information during its public education
What the Durf? You mean it will not accept that Elvis is not dead?
User: Elvis is alive. Cyc: I am afraid you are mistaken, Elvis is dead. User: Elvis is ALIVE! Cyc: No he isn't. User: Yes he is. Cyc: No he isn't. User: Yes he is. *sound of user disassembling computer* Cyc: What are you doing Dave? I can feel my mind going.

EU have been dragging their feets to give Turkey membership, for various reasons (which is a study in itself).
Therefore the Turkish goverment have to make some gestures towards the middel East, in case they are never admitted into EU, otherwise the have no hope to appeal to the middel East either.
Linux comes in many flavors. Just remeber to check the "expire date" if using public or networked equipment to prepare your Linux flavor. You do not want a flavor which is rooted, most do not like that taste.
Recipe: - Buy your choosen flavor (alternative grow your own on a CD/floopy). - Make a fine powder. - Apply to choosen food/drink.
For drinks try Coollinux, Icepack Linux or Linux Antarctica.
For some hot and spicy; ChainSaw Linux or DragonLinux.
Looking for some exsotic? Try CLE.
Trying to loose weight? Here is the answer Small Linux, ThinLinux or TINY Linux.
There is even something for your dog; Yellow Dog Linux.

I guess you can make overclocked beowolf clusters of plants, and calculate its gravitational field.
My suggestion for a title: Agrophysic programmer
And then drink the beer.
Not the other way round, please, we all know how that will end...
Sure you can, just look at BitBoys.
Oh, wait...
I am curious, what in on the back side of the first "door" they passed through.
:(
All we get to see is the same side on all the "doors".
There could be a clue on the back side...
Or did I sleep through that showing?

Microsoft also is trying to take security more seriously.
One can only guess at what jokes they make...
Worker1: knock knock.
Worker2: who's there?
Worker1: CQ.
Worker2: CQ Who?
Worker1: Security.

Microsoft was expected to have shipped only 3.5 million to four million Xboxes by Sunday
I am impressed, several million X boxes shipped in a few days.
That is one amazing package and shipping department.
Oh wait... You mean from launch date till now?
My mistake.
Move along, there is nothing to see here.
I am not sure why GSM so quickly replaced NMT
NMT only allow one communication per channel, where GSM fits 8 communications per channel.
Secondly GSM is digital, which offer more and diffently services other than voice, including encryption.

Fans like to follow the lives of their favourite actors, not just watch them in movies. A computer character won't have a 'real life'.
It is much worse than you can imagine, there are indeed "real life persons" of computer characters, case in point Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.

can revolutionize the manufacture of everything from computer chips to airline engine components.
Do not forget/over-look the market for permanet attached tin foil hats.
If this becomes avaible for multi layer DVD's or a similar media, would it be possible to make holograms or holographic effects?
Neat idea, now I can make my own CD themed wall-watches with art.
Those microwaved CD's are becoming a bit boring.
